From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Summary
Description: Scan of an old style (pre-mid-late nineties I think) British passport. It is very dark blue, with gold embossing. Note the top right corner of this passport has been clipped, indicating that it has been cancelled, and is no longer valid. It is 4inches by 5 and 7/8 inches, making it slightly larger than the new EU passports, and is hardcover, rather than paperback.
